Abstract
The present invention contemplates a method and/or system for accurately and accelerated synchronization of communication networks. The method contemplates providing a virtual clock module in which all nodes of a network use the module in an identical manner and wherein the virtual clock module of nodes is generally a data stream whose element is the virtual time with whatever notice made is in communication with at that instant. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the method or system is processed using a finite impulse filter. The virtual clock in each node is responsible for generating a stream of data in which one may consider as virtual time. Each sample of the discrete time stream is constructed by its nearest neighbor of the node concerned communicating the current sample of its own virtual time stream to the node.
